Pet care experience

Safe, loving care you can count on!

I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been something I genuinely love. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies that require constant attention to senior dogs with unique needs. I’ve also helped train puppies, including teaching basic commands, reinforcing good behavior, and building positive routines. I understand that every dog has a different personality, and I take the time to earn their trust while making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. My goal is to build a strong connection with every pet I care for and provide the same patience, affection, and attention I would give my own. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or older and needs extra care, you can count on me to treat them like family.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I care for every pet as if they were my own by making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. With my own dog, I take him on regular walks, continue his training, keep him clean, trim his nails when needed, and even keep him light grooming. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I typically house sit so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure they stay on their normal routine by taking them outside for potty breaks, going on walks, playing with them, feeding them on schedule, and giving them lots of love and companionship. I believe building trust with both pets and their owners is essential, and I’m committed to providing a safe, reliable, and stress free experience every time.

We have had Krista watch our pets in our house a few times and shes been amazing. She's always respectful of our house and our dog absolutely loves her. She's very responsive to messages and is an incredibly sweet and kind person.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part time as a babysitter, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available on weekdays from 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM. This flexibility allows me to provide dependable care, whether it’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping pets company while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to give each pet the attention, love, and care they deserve.

Before caring for a pet I like to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite activities, and any medications or special care they need. I also appreciate knowing how they interact with other people and animals, any fears or anxieties they have, and what helps them feel comfortable. Learning their personality, favorite toys, treats, and commands ahead of time helps me provide the best care possible and makes the experience less stressful and more enjoyable for both the pet and the owner.
